‘Putin has no further use for Trump’: CNN analyst explains why Trump Tower lawyer just admitted Kremlin connections

Why did Kremlin-connected lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya just admit that she’s a Russian informant?

A CNN panel discussed that today, with everyone agreeing that it was something Putin wanted her to do—and wondering aloud whether it’s just to sow more chaos, or if there is a greater strategy at play.

Brain Karem, said his sources are indicating that this may be the next phase in Putin’s efforts to undermine the United States by exposing his help of Trump and further delegitimizing him. “What this may signal is that Putin has no more use for Trump,” he said. “The timing was specifically made for after he was exhorted in Congress…

This may be further psy-ops, said panelist Ryan Lizza, who pointed out that Vladimir Putin has a long record of denying and later admitting his actions.

“This is part of a vast covert action campaign run out of the Kremlim,” said panelist Robert Baer. “They’re using these proxies, like this lawyer… the old model of using the KGB has been dropped… Putin is bragging about this.”

1. Kick and Rec!

Trump exposed is Trump disposable to Putin.

[awesomerwb1]

2. Very strange she would admit that....

but I don't believe putin has no further use for cheeto.

Could be just a "friendly reminder" to cheeto and the gop.

7. He still has leverage on him, whether they hint at collusion or not...

And he knows that leverage is going to be gone eventually. So he flexes his muscles a while longer.
I thought the “we don’t care about who is on your government” stuff is image management.

[Xolodno]

19. Not if he knows Mueller or the FBI has discovered and confirmed that leverage.

In which case, its a question of who looks better breaking the news.

Putin playing the US President like a fiddle and admitting it makes him look very good to the audience he wants. Waiting for us to announce it, makes him look like trying to duck having his hand in the cookie jar.

[bettyellen]

20. Exactly! That's sort of what I was trying to say- his window for a PR victory is likely closing ...

And in the meantime he is still able to keep sanctions at bay and keep Trump at his beck and call about Syria... but he knows it’s likely not for long. Crazy stuff.

3. Not surprising.

Putin should have left things alone. He fucked up. Trump has no business being President. With Mrs. Clinton, Putin could have a had a good, fair, working relationship. He has to start from scratch now. He has to repair the damage they've done.

[WhiteTara]

15. Repair? I doubt that they have that in their play book.

More chaos for us. More opportunity for them.

[JI7]

4. It could be a sort of warning also

[Kirk Lover]

5. Pooty has nothing to lose. nt

[WhiteTara]

16. +1

[rzemanfl]

6. K&R. It is all a psyop to make us crazy. pResident Catasrophuck should be nowhere near the

White House.

[kentuck]

8. Very interesting.

Maybe Putin has decided that Trump cannot deliver on his promises and has decided to work at division and chaos within our system?

[kentuck]

9. What if she was arrested?

Would she change any of her story?

[DonViejo]

12. Depends on who did the arresting, I think.

Of course, Putin could do the "I don't know this crazy lady, she's lying." Trump then announces, "see, I told you, NO COLLUSION!"

[ananda]

10. That's an interesting take. And ..

.. if that is the case, 45 is totally screwed!

[Raven123]

11. Honestly not worth the energy to ponder. Wait for Mueller

[BigmanPigman]

13. That is what I thought yesterday when I first heard

about it...

"I heard that Putin is OK with her confession since this is the standard Russian game.

First they deny everything...wide eyed innocence and indignation. Then it is followed by the true story where they sit back and laugh at us for being so naive. Then they celebrate with vodka shots at how clever they are at making the US a laughing stock with no self respect or respect from former allies. This IS the cold war version 2018...it is an ongoing cyber war and we are screwed.

She is not in danger at all. In fact Putin probably told her to say it."

[Hekate]

14. Would LOVE to hear Malcolm Nance on this!

Am away from most news this Fri thru Sun, which I don't regret, but I'm getting really curious!

[njhoneybadger]

17. Ridiculous, Putin would have and does have use for the current President of the United States

[gibraltar72]

18. That admission is Putin

rubbing our noses in it. Mocking us by letting us know how easily he owned us.

[uponit7771]

21. +1, just like his two ambassadors in the oval office after US press was told to leave

[hatrack]

22. "My work here is done . . . . "

"Don't need my real-estate butt-boy any more."
